COOKING WITH OIL OR GREASE:
•
DO NOT overfill the cooking pot with oil/grease or water. Follow instructions
in the
manual for establishing proper oil/grease or water levels.
•
DO NOT allow the oil to exceed 400˚F (200˚C); if this happens; adjust the
regulator control knob in order to drop temperature. If oil temperature con-
tinues to rise or begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn the burner OFF. Allow
temperature to cool to 350˚F (177˚C) and then relight the burner, regulating
the flame to maintain temperature.
•
DO NOT leave appliance unattended while heating oil/grease or water, or
while cooking food. Do Not allow other people or pets near a gas appliance
while still hot after its use. High temperatures will remain long after appliance
is turned off. Allow cooling below 115˚F (45˚C) before cleaning and storing.
•
Unthawed and soggy foods may cause oil or grease to overflow. Always
completely thaw and towel dry all foods before frying. If ice is present on the
food, the thawing process is not complete and may cause liquid to boil over
and splatter possibly causing a fire.
•
Use the thermometer provided for proper temperature control when cooking
with hot oil or grease.
•
Use caution when placing food in the cooking vessel while the appliance is
in operation. Carefully, watch for splashing or overflow of hot oil during emer-
sion of product to be fried when placing in the gas fryer.
•
When cooking with oil/grease, have an inspected, ready-to-use fire extin-
guisher
readily accessible.
IF A GREASE OR OIL FIRE OCCURS:
In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. A Type
BC or ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher may in some cases contain the fire. If
possible:
1. Turn off gas supply.
2. Wearing a protective glove, cover the pot with a lid.
If a fire occurs (outside the pot) follow these steps.
1. Call the Fire Department if property damage is possible.
2. Attempt to extinguish using chemical fire extinguisher as specified above.
3. Turn off the gas supply is possible.
In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking
with oil, cover the cooking vessel & immediately turn off the burner(s) and gas
supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker stand or pot.
